Domanda

We have recently deployed an OCS edge server to faciliate both federation and remote access for MOC.

Remote Access works perfectly, no vpn required and the address book is full accessible from any remote location with internet access.

We also want to federate with Microsoft, and after a few attempts we passed their federation test (required dns, ports, connectivity, etc).

However, federation still isn't working.

When we add the sip address of a Microsoft person to our contacts list in MOC, it still shows up as 'Presence Unknown'. When the Microsoft person adds my sip address to his contacts, he gets the same message.

We are using ISA 2006 as a reverse proxy, and have a single 2007 R1 Standard Edition front-end server and the same version edge server. Only the Access Edge server role has been deployed thus far.

Can anyone advise on where to look to resolve this?

Please believe me when I say I have gone through all settings comparing them to Microsoft guides and a third party OCS 2007 book.

Obviously I am doing something wrong.

I don't know how relevant it is but the Web Components validation test fails with the following Group Expansion error:

Also, when I was going through settings on the front-end sever, I noticed that under General Settings the following was listed:

General Settings Forest: Information not available in this view Schema version: Information not available in this view Prep state: Information not available in this view

This was not the way it was when the server was deployed, could this issue be preventing federation success? I certainly believe it can't be healthy though I don't know what has caused this to occur, perhaps someone fiddling with AD?

How long has it been since requesting the federation with Microsoft and what channels did you do it through? Just stating that Microsoft does not use Open Federation and only select Partners can federate with microsoft.com for OCS.Jeff Schertz, PointBridge | MVP | MCITP: Enterprise Messaging | MCTS: OCS

Is this the first Federation you have setup with this OCS deployment? Also, what certficate are you using on the Acess Edge role?Jeff Schertz, PointBridge | MVP | MCITP: Enterprise Messaging | MCTS: OCS
